Phraseology

Corrugated or Fiberboard Container Mfg.
Note:  

Includes corrugating or laminating of paper.

Code 4244 and Code 4250 “Paper Coating” shall not be assigned to the same risk unless the operations described by these classifications are conducted as separate and distinct businesses.

Description

Code 4244 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing corrugated or fiberboard barrels, boxes, cartons, shipping drums and containers made from corrugated cardboard or fiberboard.

In manufacturing corrugated cardboard used for the containers, heavy paper stock is fed into a corrugating machine which forms the corrugation “ripples.”  An outer facing sheet layer is then glued to one or both sides.  Fiberboard containers do not have a corrugated center section because they are made from paper stock which is laminated by gluing the flat paper sheets in successive layers until the required thickness is obtained.

Some employers may purchase the cardboard or fiberboard stock already corrugated or laminated.  The purchased corrugated or fiberboard material is cut to size, slit or slotted, scored and creased and then folded and taped or stapled.  The completed boxes are inspected and may be shipped to the employer’s customers in a flat form in bundles or in a set-up or fully assembled shape.

Manufacturing fiberboard drums, the material is wound around tubes in the required number of thicknesses or laminations.  The glue is applied in the winding process and the formed tubular stock is cut to size and fitted with tops and bottoms cut from fiberboard sheet stock.  The top and bottom edges of the drums may be fitted with metal rims.
